Health care: Who has to pay

John Crudele

DEAR JOHN...THE ANSWER MAN

Dear John: I am a registered nurse who has been working in a major trauma center in New York City for the past 20 years.

I have a son who is 22 years old and does not have a job that provides health insurance. Before he was covered on my plan (under ObamaCare) we had to pay out of pocket for doctor visits.

The doctor visits are $150, and the procedures are more. We found it hard to pay the $150. I prayed every day that he was not a victim of trauma because where would we come up with the money to pay the hospital?

I would have to sell my house.

When is the right time for ObamaCare? Ever since I could remember, both Republican and Democratic presidents have promised some type of universal health care, and nothing has materialized.

I understand that the new health- care bill is not perfect, but we need to start somewhere.

Too many people are uninsured and are not getting medical care. And when they get medical care, the bill is never paid.

When the president, congressmen and senators get sick, they have access to the best health care in America.
